Dear ccp4 enthusiasts,
Please help spread the word!
Thanks so much,

POSTDOCTORAL AND TECHNICIAN POSITIONS
at Brown University, USA
The Deaconescu Lab at Brown University has one opening for a postdoctoral
researcher and one technician. The laboratory's interests lie primarily in
stress responses, with particular emphasis on responses to DNA damage and the
mechanochemistry of DNA-based motors. We utilize a combination of biochemical,
biophysical and structural techniques. (e.g. X-ray crystallography, electron
microscopy). Examples of recent work are: Schwartz et al, Protein Science
(2021), Brugger et al, Nature Communications (2020), Dorich et al, Genes &
Development (2019), Vemu et al. Science (2018), Le TT et al. Cell (2018), Szyk
et al, Cell (2014).
A successful postdoctoral candidate should have an established track-record of
publications in peer-reviewed journals; solid experience with protein
biochemistry (including their purification, functional characterization and
assay development). We have a variety of projects available at different stages
of development, including some that involve drug design. Prior knowledge of
crystallography and/or single-particle electron microscopy is highly desirable,
but not required. Working knowledge of bacterial genetics could also be an
asset. Must be highly motivated and work well independently as well as in a
team. Excellent spoken and written English are required. New Ph.D. graduates
are encouraged to apply.
A successful technician candidate should preferably have a degree in
chemistry/biological sciences and more than two years experience at the bench,
at the minimum with molecular biology, and ideally, also with protein
purification and crystallization.
Interested candidates should send a CV, a one page research experience
summary and contact information for three references to
alexandra_deaconescu[at]brown.edu. Please use “postdoctoral candidate” or
“technician candidate" as a subject.
Salary and starting date are negotiable. Please write Postdoctoral Candidate
in the e-mail subject header. Brown University, an Ivy League school ranked
as 5th best in the US by the Wall Street Journal, is located in Providence,
Rhode Island less than one hour away by train from Boston. Rhode Island
provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation with beautiful beaches
and sailing.
